Different services and government agencies are responsible for leading different parts of our response and have lots of advice and guidance on their websites:

Public Health England: co-ordinate the response, translating the government strategy into information, advice and guidance on the Coronavirus (Covid-19)

NHS: local and national NHS services are working to assess and treat people, providing advice to the population through the NHS 111 online service

Torbay Council: we provide local public health leadership by working in partnership to safeguard the Bay, both in terms of COVID and our daily responsibilities to our population.
